INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE

The members of the Workshop Organizing Committee invite you to attend
the 1993 IEEE Workshop on Neural Networks for Signal Processing. The 1993
Workshop is the third workshop organized by the Neural Network
Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. The first took
place in 1991 in Princeton, NJ, USA, the second in 1992 in Helsingor,
Denmark.  The purpose of the Workshop is to foster informal technical
interaction on topics related to the application of neural networks
to problems in signal processing.

WORKSHOP LOCATION    

The 1993 Workshop will be held at the Maritime Institute of Technology  
Graduate Studies (MITAGS), 5700 Hammonds Ferry Road, Linthicum Heights, MD,
21090, USA, telephone +1 410 859 5700.  MITAGS is a training facility of the
International Organization of Masters, Mates & Pilots.

TRANSPORTATION TO MITAGS

MITAGS is located directly south of Baltimore, Maryland.  For those arriving
by air at the Baltimore - Washington International Airport, MITAGS
is 5 miles away by taxi.  For those arriving by private car, we provide
the following directions:

1. From NORTH VIA I-95: South through Fort McHenry Tunnel, stay on I-95 
South to I-695 South (Glen Burnie). Proceed as in #2 below.

2. FROM BELTWAY(I-695) COMING FROM THE NORTH OR WEST:
Get off at Exit 8 (Hammonds Ferry-Nursery Road), turn left at end of exit,
straight through the traffic light, over the bridge to the sign saying 
MASTERS, MATES & PILOTS. Follow the driveway (blue lines) to Day Visitor
Lots A, B or C, or to the Overnight Lot.

go to a traffic light, turn left on Hammonds Ferry road,
continue over the bridge, turn right at the sign saying MASTERS, MATES  
& PILOTS and proceed to Day Visitor Parking Lots A through C, or
if you are staying overnight, to the Overnight Lot.

5. FROM SOUTH VIA BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON PARKWAY (I-295): Turn off at exit just
before Baltimore Beltway (I-695). This exit says West Nursery Road.
Stay to the right on the exit ramp.  Go to first light (International Drive),
turn left to bottom of hill, left onto Aero Drive.  At gate,
sign says MASTERS, MATES & PILOTS.  Turn right and follow blue line
to parking lots.

WORKSHOP REGISTRATION INFORMATION  

There is a Registration Form at the end of the Advanced Program.
The registration fee "without room" covers attendance at all workshop sessions, 
one copy of the hard-bound proceedings, the Monday night reception,
the coffee breaks,  and all meals during the three days of the Workshop,
including the banquet at the Baltimore Orioles' Baseball Stadium.
For those potential participants whose funds are not permitted to be
spent on a banquet, we point out that corporation co-sponsorship 
is paying for the banquet.

The registration fee "with room" covers all of the above plus lodging
on the campus at MITAGS.  Lodging at MITAGS is by far the most convenient,
and it is very reasonably priced.  This is the registration that we recommend
for all participants coming from a distance. 

For IEEE members before August 1, the registration fee is $375 without room
and $575 with room.  After August 1, the registration fee is $425 without room
and $625 with room.  Non-members, please add $50 to these fees.
Students may apply for a limited number of partial travel and
registration grants.  See registration form below.
EVENING EVENTS 

A Pre-Workshop Reception will be held at MITAGS on Monday evening,
September 6, 1993, at 8:00 PM.  On Tuesday evening, a panel
on Dual-use Applications of Neural Network Technology
will be led by Workshop Co-Chair Barbara Yoon. 

On Wednesday evening, busses will take participants to the banquet
at the new Baltimore Orioles' Baseball Stadium in downtown Baltimore.
Dinner will be served in the Orioles' 6th floor banquet facility. 
Reservations have been made for 120 participants.  Each reservation
includes a ticket to the party rooms reserved for the workshop
down on the Stadium Club level.  After the banquet, participants
may either relax in the banquet facility, or move to the party rooms
and adjacent outside seating to enjoy the scheduled evening baseball
game with the Seattle Mariners.  Busses will return everyone to MITAGS
at the end of the game.

At the close of the Workshop on Thursday afternoon, participants are invited
to stay for a demonstration of MITAG's $50 million computer-based simulator
of the bridge of a ship.  This hydraulically-mounted simulator will be operated
in a cinerama representation of the harbor of the City of New York.
